I'm in! This giveaway is a big one.

On the collar for the top? Its one piece of trim. I got it at home depot.

Yup, the top was siliconed to the wood in addition to those brackets. I was able to get the insulation in, it really wasnt to bad, but definately could have been easier. I used the top as a template for the collar, just turned it upside down and lined up the boards and it came together pretty...

So --- Everything was moving along real nice, until now when I realized how much of a mistake it was not insulating the collar with the foam board BEFORE I mounted the top to the collar. Sigh..... Now the last portion will be 10x harder. Is there any concern about the lack of insulation...

Thanks Guys ---- good input. I just threw one more coat of poly on the inside of the collar, I'm going to consider that the last one. I have 2" high density insulation board to mount to the inside of the collar. My gasket is already on, I bought a new think rubber one that is black...

For any of you that have had your keezer up and running for awhile now, how is the moisture level inside where the collar is? I'm trying to decide how many coats of polyurethane is enough. I'm using a Minwax Fast Drying Oil Based one. I have 3 coats on already, I was contemplating that being...

Picked it up from midwest. only $3 but $6 in shipping, so not so great but gotta get this project done. Unfortunately they didnt have a left hand threaded plug, nor did Home Depot. So i used that as an excuse to place a order at beveragefactory.com for the $1 part and got a sanke tap, some...

I bought a 3 gauge Taprite regulator, but then needed a 4th regulator added on. The 3 gauge one is all normal right hand threads, but the new also Taprite brand add on Gauge is left hand threaded. So I need to find that same 2" - 1/4" connection stem, but need it left hand threaded on one...

I drilled the holes for the hinges last night and did a dry run. I have them reinforced with some small steel plates, but this thing still feels a little sketchy with it being made out of pine, though that does keep it lighter. I'm worried that I should have done bigger metal plates. I did put...

I would say, when it doubt with ghetto-wiring, better safe than sorry. The PSU may have a fuse that could blow. I bought a cheap DC variable voltage plug off of Amazon to run the fan. Variable AC / DC Unit I wasn't planning on running a GFCI, but now that you mentioned it, I have a nice...

You aren't the first person to yell at me to get beer on tap quicker! I have my Dirty Honey Blond Ale ready to tap, just need to finish this damn thing up. I like the PVC pipping idea, way more durable then other setups I've seen, but does it take away too much space in there? I will be...

I got the trim work added to the collar today and the holes drilled for the faucets. Doing a little dry fitting of the faucets before I mount two small handles, one on each side of the faucets. It's really looking cool now with the trim. Lots of sanding, staining, and applying poly urethane is...

Overboard! No way. It was only 1 pint of paint. :) I thought about the heat from the compressor as well, but it will still have its vent on the right side and it will live inside my house. So the want for a nice uniform look won that debate. What size bolts did you get? I still need those...

I started my build on this over the past weekend. A coat of primer & 2 coats of chalkboard paint on the body. I built the collar out of 1x10 select pine boards. Secured them to each other with pocket holes and metal corner brackets. I used the lid turned upside down as a template for lining...
